13.3 How rocks change
• Rocks are formed when lava or magma
solidifies.
• These rocks can become other kinds of
rocks when they are broken down then
cemented together with other sediment, or
changed by heat and pressure.

13.3 How rocks change
• Sedimentary rocks
are formed from
pieces of broken
down rock.
• Sedimentary rocks
are the most
common rocks found
on Earth’s surface.

13.3 Sedimentary Rocks
• Sedimentary rocks are identified by
the size of the particles that form
them.
1. mudstone
2. sandstone
3. conglomerate

13.3 Sedimentary
Rocks
• Most fossils are found
in sedimentary rock
layers.
• Sedimentary rocks hold
clues to the past.
Where might organisms get
covered by sediments?

13.3 Metamorphic Rocks
• A metamorphic
rock is a rock formed
from another kind of
rock due to heat and
pressure.
• Metamorphism
means to change the
form of something.

13.3 Metamorphic rocks
• When magma comes in
contact with another type of
rock, the high heat may form
metamorphic rock near the
point of contact.
• This is called contact
metamorphism.

13.3 Metamorphic rocks
• Limestone is a rock
made of shells.
• During contact
metamorphism
limestone becomes
marble under heat
and pressure.

13.3 Metamorphic rocks
• High-grade metamorphisminvolves high pressure and either low or high temperatures.
• In this process, the minerals in a rock change to form new minerals.

13.3 Metamorphic rocks
• Heat and pressure result when colliding continents form mountains at a convergent boundary.
• Mountains are where we find metamorphic rocks.

13.3 Metamorphic rocks tell great
stories
• Geologists use rocks
as clues to understand
the history of Earth.

13.3 The rock cycle
• The rock cycle
allows rock to
keep changing
form and move
from place to
place on Earth.
